Quick. Before I have to ask Cliff!
Name the major rock bassist who was also a huge fan of Black baseball … and who donated over 200 autographed NAL/NNL baseballs to the #NLBM.

I threw that question over to Cliff, who got it instantly. The major rock bassist who is also (like yours truly) a NNL/NAL baseball geek is Geddy Lee of #Rush. (Cal Ripken Jr. is, too!)
Lee donated his collection of autographed #baseball s to #NLBM in 2008, bless his heart.

WAXAHATCHEE captures what I love about peak Dylan & peak John Prine
FYI: Katie Crutchfield : #Waxahatchee as Jeff Lynne : ELO. Real band, but nobody argues about who’s in charge

Getting ready to go on what people in Ireland insist on calling a “holiday,” but what this group, surely, knows is in fact a “vacation.”
Chauvinistic conceits aside, #1947League is on break until about April 7. Online intermittently though.
Cya! Enjoy Opening Day! Go A’s!

It keeps on not being Opening Day yet. Fortunately, I found a compelling four-minute documentary of an era long past that bears repeated viewing. Suspect it will get me through til Thursday.
Perhaps it will do the same for others. Offered as a humble service.

Frank Herbert interviewed for an hour-plus at his home in Fairfax, California about the origins of #Dune.
May or may not be your cup of tea, but for me–pass the teapot, please.
PS: I lived in Fairfax for about three months in the late '70s. Never saw him.

This 9/30/67 game between the Twins and Sox captures a late-season contest from one of the most famous pennant races of all time … is the oldest surviving complete color broadcast of a #baseball game … and features cameos from VP Humphrey and Sen Kennedy.

Multiple guesses okay on this one, by the way.

One of them found a lot of baseballs on tour. The other hit a lot of baseballs.
